Book Summary:
Confessions of a Resilient Entrepreneur
Confessions plays out in two parts. The first begins
with the author’s childhood in Canada and the inspirational role model she
meets after a youthful accident. It travels with her to and from Israel immediately
after the 6-Day War, and through her ordeal with Hodgkin’s disease, which
destroys her first marriage. It traces her business-acumen development as its
gained through a series of companies in which she worked with – and without
– a series of husbands: manufacturing, architecture, office management, importing,
infomercials, and disaster call centers. Finally, it follows the author to discovering
who and what she is, and exactly what she has to offer to established and aspiring
business leaders.
Section II of Confessions of a
(Recovering) Serial Entrepreneur provides the reader with a sampling of the practical
direction the author affords her coaching clients. Through guided reflections,
readers examine various aspects of their lives, such as whether they actually
demonstrate their values, what kind of tradeoffs they’re prepared to make
to “have it all,” the impact of their families on their work and their
work on their families, and the difficulty leaders have with asking for help.
Confessions also includes an appendix list of the author’s Book Notes, which
are synopses of popular and essential business and advancement titles that are
available online at http://www.clarityandresults.com.
Target
Audiences: This book not only appeals to readers interested in business, memoirs
and life coaching; it is sure to be a hit with women of all ages, regardless of

Confessions of a
Resilient Entrepreneur
Persevering to Success
by Frumi Rachel Barr
New in 2012!
Read how you too can be resilient in the added chapter: New Chapter 2012
Fact:
one out of every 11 American women is a business owner. Women own nearly half
of all privately held start-up businesses, and the number of women who want to
become entrepreneurs continues to rise.
Fact:
women account for one-half of all legally sanctioned marriages (and divorces)
and are still the only ones that give birth to babies.
How
do they do that?
"Confessions
of a Resilient Entrepreneur: Persevering to Success" demonstrates the balancing
act that women – and men – have to perform in order to integrate a business
life with a family life. Confessions speaks to the starry-eyed young entrepreneur
who has big business ideas but no idea of what it takes to have it all, as well
as the well-established business leader who has achieved success and now wants
to somehow fit a life into those dreams. It describes and encourages the attitudes
and belief systems that “grow” an entrepreneur – and illustrates
what happens when those attitudes and belief systems come up against hard reality. Written
in easy, conversational prose, Confessions of a (Recovering) Serial Entrepreneur
relays the experiences of executive coach Frumi Rachel Barr, PhD, as she discovers
the hidden lessons of entrepreneurship, and has to apply them in the face of some
of life’s harshest realities: rape, cancer, gender discrimination, multiple
divorce, and national scandal. It reveals how the systems and strategies that
serve her so well in business also help her achieve and enjoy some of life’s
greatest pleasures: four wonderful children, a succession of beautiful homes in
two countries, and the opportunity for unrestricted growth.
Praise
for 'Confessions of a Resilient Entrepreneur'
"No
one is better equipped to coach and nurture female entrepreneurs than Frumi, herself
a successful entrepreneur, mother, friend and community leader. If 'The Little
Engine That Could' were re-written just for women entrepreneurs, 'Confessions
of a Resilient Entrepreneur' would be it. Frumi understands an entrepreneur's
excitement, temptations and fears intimately because she's 'been there, done that.'
Reading her story is like swallowing a big dose of courage. You feel as though
you could overcome anything because she has faced life's hardest challenges with
aplomb and transformed herself into a stronger, happier and better woman each
time.”
Cara Good, President, WunderMarx Inc. "The
Frumi Fix is a recipe for turning yourself inside out so your true self can shine.
Frumi reminds us it is in the stew of our total life experiences that we have
every ingredient necessary to create, and serve, our special offering to others.
What she delivers is not her personal ingredient list, rather the inspiration
and courage to mix up our own - from the inside out. And that’s the
magic. Once you've digested the Confessions and get your first taste of The Frumi
Fix, you'll experience inside-out at it’s best. And I guarantee you'll return
for a daily helping."
Ann Hult Crowell, A Recovering CEO, Author &
Speaker "Frumi Rachel Barr inspires us
to not let catastrophes get in the way of our success. Sure, things can get crummy,
but if we keep our focus up and our eyes open, we'll see doors open for us. In
experience after experience, Frumi illustrates how asking ourselves the right
questions allows the best answers to show up. Frumi's book is a page turner, and
I loved the advice she gives at the end. This special book is a keeper!"
Joanne
Rodasta Wilshin, Author 'Take a Moment and Create Your Life!' "Don't
miss this book filled with personal courage as Frumi bares her soul telling how
she overcame whatever obstacles were put in her way. Resilience is Frumi's authentic
real deal -- what it takes to create a purposeful, fulfilling life. A definite
must read for everyone (not just women) who wonders if they have what it takes
to follow their dreams."
Marilyn August, Author, 'Journey to Wealth
& Wisdom'
